WwW MAY DAY MYSTERY Bij. Octavus Roq Cohero

Vernon was seated on his cot. He had doffed coat and tie. and his shirt was open at <the throat. His long black hair was somewhat tousled and his chubby face wore an expression of belligerence. His whole mannereven before a word was spoken—was combative. Jim seated himself and smiled lazily at the prisoner. He felt rather sorry for the boy. fat. good-natured, easygoing. ... and now suddenly enmeshed In a tragedy which he couldn't quite understand. Jim's voice came soothingly. •‘Things been happening pretty fast, ain’t they. Son?” i Vernon looked tip sharply. "Whitt things?” “Oh. plenty." . - “1 don't know what you mean." “Shtih! Sure you do.” Max rose and tried to look dignified. He succeeded only In appearing somewhat ludicrous and entirely ] pitiful. "I haven't anything to say. Mr. Han 1 ■ '▼ey.” I “Well, what do you know about | that? I haven't asked you anything, j have 1?” ,j “No. but—” “Listen to me. Son: answer me oae question.” ' . “What Is It?” fc l»ld you kill Pat Thayer?" Vernon's eyes closed. He pulled himself together with a visible effort. "No.” “Then I think you better talk to me plain and honest. Os course, If you did kill him. the best thing you can do Is keep your mouth shut Now—- . what say you?" j “Nothing. I'm not going to talk.” I "A' right 1 ain't gonna argue with you." He reached Inevitably for the j golden toothpick. "Swell new car you . got. Son." " Vernon was stonily silent. “Swell car,” Hanvey. “Sore ‘ wish Leonid own one like that. But i 1 wouldn’t go buy one Just after I'd i had a row with another man.” "I didn't row with anybody.” “No? Not even Pat Thayer?” Max was trembling. Boyishly, he ! Was struggling to keep actual tears i from his eyes. “You’re trying to trap me! I know! And I'm not going to ‘ My anything. Not anything at all!" I "That’s up to you. Son. But sup- ’ pose you toll me this: What hap 4 | paned between you and Thayer .In the | fraternity house day before yesterday ( somewhere a'bout one o'clock In the afternoon?" i Tn the fraternity house? Nothing happened.” “You went to. his room, didn't you?” “Aw, Sons You know dog-gone good and well you, went to Pat Thayer's room. Now why don't you tel) u» what happened?" T didn’t go near his room,” cried ’ Vernon harshly. “I went to my own room and changed my clothes and then I left the house. I never saw Thayer for a moment all the time I was in there." Jim shook his big head. “1 hate to ■» w ; ■ i fi I i n? ■ "Lika H—l You Aral You're TryIng to Mix Mo Up In Pat Thayer’s Murder.” see you flighting me, Son. when Pm trying to help—•" “Like h—l you are! You're trying to mix me up In Pat Thayer’s murder." “I’m trying to get the truth. Doe* that mix you upF "No, but—" “Just before you went to the fraternity house, you and Thayer had a big row on the campus, didn’t you?" “Who says so?” "Several people. And also there ain’t much question that you were pretty sore at him. Now 1 ask you this: Why?" "1 bad reason enough. I thought he was my friend. Pve been buddies with him for two years. He’s been winning al) my money at cards. I guess 1 would have been a dumbbell all my life If I hadn't got sore at him over something fba" “Steellng your girt, for Instance?” Max looked up sharply, and became boyishly dignified. "I—l'd really rather not talk about that angle of IL Mr. Hanvey” he Mid gently. "As you My. Vernon. But when thia other thing happened—you getting sore—* hat then?" *1 started thinking—for the first time. And 1 began to suspect that It wasn’t all Just accident that, Thayer

had been nice to me so long as I had money; but the minute I went broke he lost Interest In me and started going with . .. . that is. doing things to make me sore. And it struck me that It was queer he bnd always won at cards. Oh! 1 was stupid enough, but 1 waked up all at once.” "And you got about as mad as you ever were in your life. You went to Thayer's room in the fraternity house—" “I did not! 1 told you before I never went near his room." "So you did; I thought maybe you’d remembered that you were mistaken. Anyway, you were in the house at the same time he was. Af’er awhile you left there hurriedly with a bundle under your arm. didn’t you? What was In that bundle, Vernon T’ Max was nervous: his pudgy hands were twisted together and his eyes roved helplessly around the little room. “A—a suit of clothes. The one I said I changed. I was taking It to the Marland Tailoring company for alteration and cleaning." “Good. Now we’re clearing up parts of- the mystery.*’, Jim turned to Reagan. "Suppose you check up on that, John. Just ’phone that company and make sure they have the suit, will you ?" * M "Sure." Reagan started to rise, but Max Vernon stopped him. The hoy’s eyes were round with fear and bend* of perspiration stood out on his forehead. "Never mind," he said hoarsely. "The clothes are not there." "Yon didn’t take them?” “N-n no.” “Where are they?” , "I—l. don't know. I gWM I—l—lost them." •’You sure are an unfortunate young man." murmured Jim. “Losing a good suit of clothes that way Well, any way, after losing that suit, you drove on up to Steel City, didn’t you?" Vernon hesitated. Then he nodded. “Yes." “Alone?" Max’s cheeks were pasty. “Yes. Alone." “And when you got there you traded In your car on a nevy one. didn’t you? And paid the difference of twelve hundred dollars In cash. Where did you get the money?" “1 have plenty of money.” “But you Just said a minute ago that Thayer In Id off you because you were broke. How could you be broke and also have plenty of money?" “I had It. . . . I got It from Thayer. He owed It to me." "I see." Jim beamed approval. •That clears up another mystery You and Thayer were really friends, after all. He loaned you the twelve hundred (dollars Just like it was nothing, eh?" "He gave It to me. He owed IL” “When did he give It to you. Vernon? When you went to his room?” “I told ynu I didn’t go to his room." “1 see. I guess he sent It to you by special messenger or something. Never mind that, though. But there Is one thing I Want to know: How did It happen that there wasn’t any floor rag In the car you traded when you got to Steel Qty?” Again- that hunted, haunted tight tn Max’s eyes. f “I don’t know anything about any floor rag.” “Wasn’t there one In your old car?" “1 don't know." “Gee! Yon sure are a forgetful guy. Now what about that knife Mr Re*pm showed you an hour or »80 ago? That Is yours. Isn’t II?” “Yes." “Where did you get It?" Tn Sicily. I’ve traveled a let and I’ve always collected queer weapons.” “Did you have It In your hand at all day before yesterday ?** “No.” “Do you know It Is the very knife with which Thayer was killed?" “I know that’s what Mr. Reagan Mid.” “You knew It wasn’t on your wall where you always kept It, didn’t you?" “No I How was Ito notice that one of the things was gone? And I didn’t kill Pat Thayer. Mr. Hanvey. I swear I didn’t" Hanvey Spoke softly. "Admitting that Vernon: Why did you get mixed up In the robbery of the Marland National bank?" Max stood rigid for a moment then sank down on the cot He buried his face In his hands. “1 didn’t have any thing to do with that either, Mr. Hanvey: honest 1 didn’t" • • • • • • • The two detectives faced each other solemnly in the warden’s office. “Will you tell me why," Reagan asked—“when you had Vernon on the run, you didn’t chase him? You knew be was lying, didn’t you?" "Sure, John—sure. And the more questions I asked the more Hee he was gonna telL" “Well, I’ll My this for you, Jim Hanvey: You seem to rock along with all the delicacy of an elephant—but d—d If you haven’t learned a beep about this case." “What, for Instance?” Inquired Hantey interestedly. “In the first place, it’s a cinch that Max Vernon killed Pat Thayer." “You think so?’ “Sure. Don't you?" “Durned if 1 know, John. I couldn't ray for sure, anyway- There's still a lot of loose ends.” _

“There always are on a case tike this," snapped Reagan. “Whenever a big crime happens we run out and grab all the facts we can. They all look important because we don’t know which from what But after we look into it we see that some of the things we thought were Important really don't mean anything—and so we forget 'cm. That’s the way In this case: we've got Max Vernon dead to rights. Any Jury would convict him.” Jim nodded heavily. “They certainly would. That’s what makes it so tough on the kid—provided he’s innocent." Reagan changed his tactics. Re pointed an accusing Anger at Hanvey. “Anyway. Jim—you think he was mixed up In that bank robbery, don't you?” The fat man reflected for a moment, then nodded. "Yeh—l do." “Ami that." exulted Reagan, “is the first definite admission I've gotten out of you yet.” Jim smiled. “I am dumb, ain’t I, John? Suppose you tell me Just how you think this murder happened. Just sketch things over, will you, so they'll take their proper places In my mind." “Good enough.” Reagan whipped out hts notebook r and consulted It. “May first; eleven-thirty: Tony Peyton runs across her husband making love to the kid sister of the man she's crazy about. Big row. Thayer sore ami Tony desperate. Fifteen minutes later, after she's gone. Ivy Welch and Pat Thayer meet Max Vernon. Thayer has been trimming Vernon for two years and the kid has Just got good and wise because Thayer went too far when he copped Max's girl. Another quarrel. While that Is happening. Tony Peyton Is warning iJtrry Welch that his-sister is In trouble, and telling him why. “At half-past twelve Pat Thayer gets to the fraternity house and goes to his room. Five minutes later Max Vernon comes In. He’s sore as a goat and when the two klus on the veranda tell him Thayer’s In his room, he says he don’t give a d —n. And maybe he didn’t then. Jim—but don't forget that he had found out where Thayer was. and he had Just quarreled with the man over a girl. “Vernon goes to his room. He has been broke and worried. Some way— I.»>rd knows how—he's entered Into a deal with somebody to rob the Mar land National bank. He’s nervous and desperate. He decides to go and have It nut with Thayer right there. Thayer is a bigger man and stronger, and so Vernon grabs that stiletto off the wall to have It handy in case trouble comes. -Meanwhile Tony Peyton has come In to warn Pat he must lay off Ivy Welch. I believe every word of her story of the visit. She beats It. and right after she does. Vernon goes Into Thayer’s room and talks cold turkey tn Thayer. Thayer probably starts the tight. Vernon takes a wild swipe at him and the knife cuts his Jugular vein. Vernon's cock eyed scared. He beats It back to his room and pitches the knife Into the corner of his clothes closet. Then he changes his clothes because the suit he had on when he killed Thayer was all covered with blood—which is why he never went to that tailor at all. “Then he heats It to take part in that bank robbery. He gets to the bank corner Just about two o'clock. During the robbery the stick-up man Is shoti While Max Is driving him he bleeds all over the back of the car. so Vernon gets rid of his bloody suit and the floor rug. Then he takes his share of the hundred thousand her rles that they’ve copped from the bank. “He trades In. his old car and Is fool enough to think he's got a good allhl. Rut a couple of minutes after he sets foot In his room at the fraternity house, the man on duty grabs blm and calls me. Ain't that a good case. Jim?” * The big man noddeti slow, approval. “Durn near perfect." he applauded. “Only, how come Thayer was alive when I.arry Welch got there at two o'clock?” "H—I!" snapped Reagan. “He wasn't. Thayer was dead then. But Ijirry knew Tony had been there and he didn't know anything about Max Vernon; So he thinks Tony Peyton killed Thayer and shields her. Cinch, ain't Itr “It seems so. . . . And the ring fry had given Pat Thayer?” “Ij»rry Welch took It Dldnt want bls sister mixed up tn the mess. Don't you see how dear everything is? Tm sorry for Max Vernon, of course. There ain't anything bad about the kid. Just weak." Hanvey was silent for a moment, then looked up brightly. “What’d yon do with all the stuff Vernon had In bls pockets when he was arrested?" "Right here. Want to see itF “Yeh. . . ." Five minutes later Reagan returned to the room. He spread, out on the table the contents of Vernon’s pockets: a handkerchief, a fountain pen, a notebook. several visiting cards, a fraternity pin. a bunch of keys, less than two dollars in silver, a packet of cigarettes and a box of matches. Hanvey fumbled with the collection. “This aM, John? Didn’t be hare a walletF “Yeh." Reagan flushed. "It’s In a special box in the warden’s Mfe. Nothing in It but some money." •How mucbF “Two hundred and ten dollars; I’U get it—" "Never mind." Jim was bolding the bunch of keys In hts hand. "Doesn’t this look like a new key, JohnF Reagan nodded. “Sure doe*." , “Bank box. PH bet" observed Hanvey. as though talking to himself. “Ub huh. new bank box key. When’s the next train for Steel CityF Reagan consulted bls watch. “Midnight" “I wonder Jf you’d run up there tomorrow albfieF "Sure I will. I can be back tomor row evening. What's the big IdeaF Jim detached the key from the ring. “Take this with you. John. Tve got a hunch that Max Vernon rented a box at eome big Steel Qty bank. Take some Mmples of his handwriting with

you. because he’d use an assumed ' name, of course. Yon can cheek up on all boxee rented ip the,last couple of days—then compare the handwriting.” “And if I And the box shall I take a look Inside?” “No-o. We’ll Just take It for granted that if he rented a box there the Marland bank money is in it—nr. anyway. Vernon's share. What sayF Reagan rose. “Pm on my way. Chief.” At the door he turned. "And If we do find that cash. Jim—and It turns out to be Vernon who had It—will you admit then that I was rlghtF Jim smiled broadly. “Mayhe." he said. “I’ll sure think you were pretty near right, anyway.” (TO BE CONTINUED.)
